EEF comment on new Design and Technology curriculum
Date published: 08 July 2013
Commenting on the new Design and Technology curriculum, David Ost, North West Region Director at EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation said: “Government has listened to business and developed a new Design and Technology (D&T) curriculum that will challenge young people.
"Exposing young people to a variety of new manufacturing concepts will also help inspire the next generation to consider a career in industry.
“We now want to see employers playing a bigger role – teaching D&T in schools on a part-time basis and bringing teachers into their company to help them bring the practical application of D&T back to the classroom.”
